On September 16, 2017 a man throws himself off a tower. He wears simple, dark clothing and no shoes, almost like a dancer. A falling body. A dance with gravity. A jump out of time to the beat of the clock tower. A vector in space. A line to the ground. A fleeting gesture. The fall of a man.

On September 16, 2017 a man throws himself off a museum. A plunge into the depths, like the son of an artist. A jump into the void in the artist’s clothes.
